Title: Always verify SSL certificate (verify peer)

Using SSL without verifying the certificate is quite pointless. Moreover, as koala is not a generic HTTP client, which needs to deal with invalid certificates from time to time, it's better to verify the certificate.

The faraday adapter will check if there's :ssl key, and if :verify is not set to false, it will then configure it with the default store.
